Welcome to my blog about transcending the self. Instead of using the mind to fix or control your world so that you can be happy, there is another way. This blog is about moving your awareness from your limited, egoic-self to your Higher Self in order that you can be the divine expression that you were intended to be.


Many of my beliefs are based on the books "The Untethered Soul" (T.U.S.) by Michael Singer and "Falling into Grace" by Adyashanti. These books describe the path of moving your awareness from the part of you that tries to make your life work (ie, find happiness, security, love...) to the part of you that Witnesses or Watches your life unfold and your reactions to your life. As you become more aware of yourself as the Watcher, and you let go of the energies of the lower self, you will be moving towards greater freedom.

So instead of struggling to make everything go your way in life, why not accept what is (release the need to fix or control people, situations or your mind), open your heart and surrender to That Which Created Life in the first place! In other words, go with the flow of life and watch the amazing miracle that you are blossom! Please join me in choosing to move beyond the limitations of the personal self and to live a life of freedom.

To get the most out of this blog, I suggest that you read the books. I also recommend the CDs by Michael Singer (see the website below). I post on this blog about once a week. If you would like to be notified by email each time I post please send your email address to donnamccullough@cox.net.

An ever expanding awareness

Michael suggests that instead of focusing on enlightenment, focus on taking down the walls which are blocking the light. 

I have had a trying situation come up the last few days... a situation that requires my presence, my attention in a worldly sense.  I need to deal with this situation as best as I can, and then let it go.  No holding on to worry, resentment, regret...  I know that right in the midst of this challenge is an opportunity for spiritual growth...an opportunity to take down some of my walls.

Leaving the comfortable house built in the middle of the sunlit field requires facing my fears and letting them go.  Life will show us our fears that are blocking the light.  How beautiful this is, really.  I don't have spend time and energy figuring out what is keeping me from embodying my Truest and Highest Self.  Life gives me the answers to that puzzle each time I experience fear.  All I have to do is watch and release.

"Your awareness can expand to encompass vast space instead of the limited space in which you dwell.  Then when you look back at that little house you built, you will wonder why you were ever in there...True freedom is very close; it's just on the other side of your walls." (T.U.S., p. 117-118).
